Vitro Architectural Glass publishes literature, performance data for ACUITY low-iron glass
Vitro Architectural Glass publishes literature, performance data for ACUITY low-iron glass
Affordable low-iron glass offers better clarity, color fidelity than conventional clear glass
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has published a brochure featuring
Acuity
™ low-iron glass, a new product that offers better clarity and color fidelity than conventional clear glass at an affordable cost. The new brochure can be downloaded at
www.vitroglazings.com/acuity
.
The 4-page booklet contains performance data for
Acuity
glass in 1-inch insulating glass units (IGUs) with Vitro Glass’s full range of
Solarban®
solar control, low-emissivity (low-e) glasses, and for a standard monolithic ¼-inch (6-millimeter) configuration. Detailed product descriptions for
Acuity
glass with
Solarban
60,
Solarban
67,
Solarban
72,
Solarban
90 and
Solarban
R100 glasses also are provided, along with information about fabrication capabilities and glass dimensions.
Acuity
glass is available through the
Vitro Certified
™ Network of glass fabricators.
Glenn T. Miner, director of construction, Vitro Architectural Glass, said
Acuity
glass meets architect demand for crisper, cleaner glass facades. “We created
Acuity
glass to satisfy designers’ thirst for a product that can eliminate the inherent green cast of regular clear glass, and is still affordable within most budgets,” he explained. “
Acuity
glass really delivers on all points, providing greater transparency and truer color rendition for vision glazing and spandrel glass applications, all for a modest investment.
When paired with select
Solarban
low-e glasses in a 1-inch IGU,
Acuity
glass can achieve visible light transmittance (VLT) of up to 73 percent. Solar heat gain coefficients (SHGCs) range from 0.23 to 0.41.
To learn download the
Acuity
glass brochure, or to pre-order a sample kit highlighting the color differences between
Acuity
glass and conventional clear glass, visit

or call 1-855-VTRO-GLS (887-6457).
